The variable spring, the hot dusty smn-i mer days, succeeded each other, and the partners worked steadily through all. They had gleams of diversion too, for Mme. Dehrisay had friends and acquaint j nuces of her own profession who often gav< her tickets for concerts, and orders for the theatre. These were amusements of which Mona had enjoyed but little during hei

Bertie Kverard, Sir Robert’s only son, who was studying law, having no military proclivities, and thinking legal knowledge would be useful in managing the family estate, which w as by no means flourishing under his father’s muniflceiit rule. “Bertie! 1 never dreamed of meeting you,” us though the ban which had fallen on her had been “banishmot”—that an encounter between two Inhabitants of the same town had been thereby rendered im-

possible.

“Nor did I. I thought you had emigrated, or been sent to a penitentiary, or somt such thing. You see, when anyone drops out of sight in London, it is such a drop in the ocean, that he or she leaves no trace behind. I am quite ghul to see you. Come, tell me all about yourself. Kvy has wept gallons over you. She wanted to write, and the Lord knows what, but my mother strictly forbade her. You are an awful black sheep, you know—a lost mutton.” “Of course I am,” said Mona, smiling. She understood her cousin’s dry bluntness. "But you must acknowledge 1 have kept out of sight and not troubl'd you.” “Yes, it is quite true. X w I have met you, I am amazed to And \ou still exist. How have you managed it. dona?" “Why trouble about details? I exist, and want nothing—that is enough. Now, tell me some news. How is your dear mother? She was always so good!” “She is exceedingly flourishing and busy, for Evelyn is going to be married—very good match—to Lord Finistoun. He is a pleasant, easy-going fellow—rather an ass, but that will suit Kvy. She hasn’t much brains herself.” “She has sense enou not to think she has all the brains of the family, as you do,

Bertie.”

"Yes, J do, and I am no great things after all. Your troubles have not taken the sharpedgeoff your tongue, Miss Joscelyn,” he said, laughing. “There is no Miss Joscelyn now. I have resumed my poor father’s name. It is more suited to my fortunes anil fancy.” "By Jove! And what is it? Craig? I’m 1 It was a queer notion of Mrs. Newburgh’s to suppress it. I suppose you haven’t heard or seen any tiling of Waring?” “No; of course not.” “Nor anyone else either! Can’t think what’s become of him. Some one dhl say tie was training a colt for the Derby. 1 dare say he Is glad enough now that you have broke with him. Can’t understand why m :i marry!—must be an awful bore.” “I ha\ e no doubt he is obliged to me.” “And you are deucedly sorry you gave him the chance, eh?” “You would not believe me if I denied it.” "Well, no, I would not, though yoa are a rum sort of a girl, Mon,a. I always liked you. You say what you think, and you held your own with that grandmother of yours, who was ns big a tyrant as I have met. You are a fool, too, in many ways— ready to cut your own throat for nr idea; but there’s something taking about you. I never thought St. John Lisle would lose his head as he did ou your account. I had a letter rrom mm some time ago—asked why he hail not seen your marriage announced—asked it in a postscript—always a bad sign of womanish weakness. Where do you live, for Heaven’s sake? We must be approaching the far west.” “Do not come any further, Bertie—you will die of tatigue.” “No, I will not, but you will, if it’s a few miles further out; let me secure a cab, befi " ■ ,ve leave the haunts of civilization behind ns.” “1 think ten minutes more will bring ns to our destination; but to copy your own amiable candor, 1 would rather you did not

come.”

“Ah, but I will. I am determined, to see your lair.” “Well, I cannot prevent you. but I do not want you,” rejoined Mona. In a few minutes they reached Mme. Debrisay’s abode, and on opening the door that individual was discovered resting in an arm-chair, beside a table set for tea. Her bonnet lay on the floor beside her, and her thick and undeniably disordered black hair was uncovered. “This is Bertie Kverard,” said Mona, quietly; “Evelyn’s brother.” “Very pleased to see him, I’m sure,” said madame, rising bravely to face the intruder, and not deigning to pick up her bonnet. “Your sister was one of my most charming pupils.” “Oh, indeed!” returned Everard. “1 should not have thought it.” “And you And yoursweet cousin looking well I I have done my best to take care of

her ”

"My cousin?” elevating his eyebrows. “Can you tell me the exact degree, Mona? —first, second, twenty-fifth?” “Oh! a cousin removed to the vanishing point of relationship. I have not the faintest wish to claim you, Bertie.” "Really, Mona, my dear, that is not the retort courteous.” "If you knew Mr. Everard better, dear madame Dehrisay, you would know that he despises courtesy in himself and others.” “I only hate shams.” said Bertie, frankly. “Lot me offer you a cup of tea.” said Mme. Dehrisay, rather scandalized. “Thank you; 1 shall he glad of it. after our long, dusty walk. Really, it’s not so bad, now we have got here,” looking round with visible examination. “It is a better room than mine in the Temple. Now, tell me, how do you manage to rub along?” "Madame Dehrisay and I have entered into partnership; she takes the big pupils, and I take the little ones.” “Ry George! Does the squalling and strumming pay for all this?” waving his tea spoon comprehensively round. “It does; but then you must remember it is nil in the fourpence three farthings style of expense,” said Mme. Dehrisay. “(iad, what heaps of money we waste!” exclaimed Everard, putting down his cup. "What sums my father gets through! I suppose you never go to parties or things of that kind, so living out here is no consequence. Why one might live for half nothing up here.” “There are no rooms to let in this house, Bertie.” “That Is a pity. Good-morning, Mrs. Dehrisay; good-bye, Mona.” "Happy to sec you again,” said Mme. t-i-i,—! .- .. “V'\r» f»rn 1 v mips it plinfflc-

They were a soqrce of great enjoyment, for Mona was peculiarly alive to beauty and harmony, and had somethin.; of tin* dramatic gift herself. A very hot July bad driven away all Mme. Debrisay’s pupils, save l wo or three. The ranks of Mona’s were also thinned, and both were planning a course, of needle work ai d r'lilia. luring the approaohiug time of rest.

Mnna qulfhly matched up the Rhawl. Mona had been out one morning to do some small housekeeping errands as Mme. Dehrisay had a headache, and on re-enter-ing the house with a latch-key, was surprised to hear a sound of snarling an 1 scuffling in their sitting-room, the door of which was open. Going in quickly, she beheld Mme. Dehrisay, her cap slightly awry, endeavoring to drag a lace shawl from the fangs of Dandle, who, snarling and yelping, held on like grim death, stretching the shawl to its fullest length, and dancing backward, while she struck at him ineffectually with a small hearth

brush.

“Viable dc bctc!" she exclaimed. “Keep away from him, Moua. I believe he is going mad.” “1 believe he is only frightened and angry. lad it go, and probably he will, too.’’ Thus diverting Mme. Debrisay’s attention, she relaxed her grasp. The dog gave a vigorous pull, and trotted triumphantly with the lace In his mouth—head and tail erect—into the hall, where lie proceeded to tear it vehemently. “Just look at that! The only decent thing I have to put ou my shoulders when I go out. Getaway with you, you cur!” —a thrust of the bru.sli—“Call him off, Jane!"—another thrust—“Take that”— throwing the brush at him finally. This routed the foe. He jumped back, and Moua quickly snatched up the shawl “Me 1 autiful Chantilly shawl,” almost we;' Mme. Dehrisay. “1 got it at a sale the last year you were with us in Paris. Thirty-five francs seventy, and it’s worth two hundred! It was as good as new. I will not live in the house with such a brute!" “1 am sure, ma’am,” said the landlady, coming in, "I am that sorry—I don’t know how to express It. I don’t know what’s in the dog. He is always trying to run up here, as if he knew it worried you.” “1 have no doubt he does,” returned Mme. Dehrisay, examining her lace. “Look here! There’s a tear for you! Here’s another! It’s just ruined.” “I think I can mend it, dear,’’said Mona, sympathetically. “Now, Mrs. Puddiford,” Insisted Mme. Dehrisay, impressively, to her landlady, “I give you your choice—either that savage brute leaves the nouse, or l will. Be sure you explain matters to Mr. Rigden this night, and let me know the result. Either he sends away his dog—or goes away with his dog or Miss Craig and I go, thin day week!" tragically. “I will, ma’am!—I will!" sniffed the lit tie landlady. “I foresee a heap of trouble Mr. Rigden—he is that obstinate and touchy 1” The landlady retired, pressing the corner of her duster to her eyes; while the yelps of the dog were heard from below, where he was being tied up. The next day was stormy, with heavy thunder-showers, and Mme. Dehrisay would not hearof Mona takinga journey U town in search of materials to repair the damage done by the delinquent Dandle. Moreover, a council of war had to be held. Mr. Rigden was observed that morning to draw his umbrella from the stand with a degree of violence which upset nil the other umbrellas and sticks, and "banged" the front door with a recklessness which was in Itself a caxux belli, Soon after, Mrs. Puddiford appeared with a rueful countenance. “Well’m, I have spoken to Mr. Rigden He is noways inclined to hear reason!” “Hi* wouldn’t lie a man if lie did, unlesi

descended, with the help of a stick and e. baggy umbrella. The omnibus movea on before the old gentleman bad one foot clear of the step and he fell prone on the damp, profusely watered ground. The driver of a hansom could hardly draw up quickly enough to prevent his horse from trampling on the prostrate fl/ure, which seemed unable to rec over the perpendicular. Mona, by a natural impulse, bent down to a-sist him, and a burly policeman soon set him on his feet. “No bones broke,” he said, cheerfully, feeling his legs and arms. “Here’s your stick and umbrella. You go into the confectioner's there, and tike sununat. You will he as right as a trivet in five minutes.” Bo saying, lie proceeded on his stately march, leaving the sufferer standing, with difficulty supporting his trembling self on his stick, and looking round him with a pitiful expression of bewilderment. “1 am afraid you are hurt!" said Mona, kindly. She did not like to desert him, for she felt he was not a Londoner. “I’ve just an awfu’ pain i’ my hack,” he said, pantingly, “and feel dozed like. If I could sit doon a bit.” “Come into this shop and have aglnsi ■ f water;" and she guided him to a pastrycook’s close by, where she found a chair, and feeling alarmed at the old man’s extreme pallor, asked if he would not try a little brandy and water. “Ay,” he said; “I must have something to raise my heart!” His eyes closed partially, and Mona begged an attendant to bring Hie restorative. Her patient was a small, spare man, with thin gray hair, small whiskers, faded blue eyes, a contemptuously upturned nose, and a wide, t Bln-lipped mouth. He was neatly dressed in a pepper-and-salt colored suit, and though not a gentleman, was by no means of the working class, nor yet like a city clerk. “Try and take a little of this,” urged

Mona.

“Thank ye—thank ye.” He put the glass to his lips and drank very slowly. “The Lord be thankit,” he said, placing it half emptied on the table, “for saving my life; but I am sair shaken!” Again he drank. “Owl” he uttered a strange sound between a groan and a sigh. “It was near a’ ower wi’ mej 1 am much beholden to you, my young leddy. I must try an’ get awa’ to my bed, hut lean scarce stan’. 1 had better get into a cab.” "You had better rest a few minutes first,” said Mona, who fell sincere compassion for him. “1 am afraid you are more hurt than you think.” "I am a puir frail bodife. Eh, hut my be.i k Is twistedl Whnt’ll they ask now for a cab”—lie called it a “cawb”—“to Camden town?” “I am not sure—eighteen pence or two shillings.” “It’s a cruel, costly place; but,” aiKilopetically, “1 canna help it; I'll just pay for tiie spirits and water, and gang my lane.” He dived into a side pocket—lie routed out Ids trousers pockets—his breast pocket —all in vain.

it were on his own side!” ejaculated madamc. “He spoke most disrespectful.” continued the landlady, beginning to play with the corner of her apron. “He said ho would stand no more <1 d nonsense (them was his words, ma’am), and was sorry he had just begun a month, as he would have to pay for It (he is a monthly tenant); that he would look out for rooms, and as soon as ever ho found another place, free from cantankerous old women, he’d leave, if he forfeited a fortnight's rent. I am sorry to say he so fur forgot himself, but them was his very words, ma’am.” “I assure you, Mrs. Puddiford, it is not of the slightest consequence whether Mr. Rigden considers me old mid cantankerous or not. I congratulate you on getting rid of a troublesome, ill-bred inmate!” The next day was bright and fresh after the thunder, and Mona having given a lesson In Gloucester Place early in the uf- I ternoon, went on to Regent’s Circus to match the lace, intending to make madame’s shawl as gmxl as new. Having done her shopping, she crossed to the other side, and wiilked a little way toward Tottenham Court Road, hoping to find room in an omnibus, without having to struggle at the regular stopping-place. Presently a Royal Oak omnibus came up, and paused before she hailed it. Mona >i<is»/>nn,l to enter ns soon as an elderlv

"There is my card, hut I live ever so far away.’’ "Guid preserve us!—it*s clean gane! My pocket has been picked!” “Oh! that is dreadful! I hope you had not much in it?” “Too much to lose! A bit of gold, half a crown, and a snxpenee. Now I canna pay for my drap o’ spoerits.” “That is a mere trifle—I will pay for it.” Going to the counter, she sai l—“This poor gentleman’s purse has been taken, I must pay for what he has had.” “1 dare say it is an accident that may happen to him again, if he finds kind young ladies to pay for' him,” said the buxom woman liehind the desk, smiling— "sixpence, please.” “Do you feel equal to go home,” said Mona, who was’beglnning to feel a little ashamed of.her quixotic attentions to this elderly waif. “I will get you a cab if you like.” “Wait a bit. Where do you bide? I want to pay ye what you’ve laid oot.” “Oil! never mind; it does not matter.” “Ye are a Scotch lassie?” “No, I never was in S otland.” "Ah! I thocht ye were, from yer bonnie reed held.” “Indeed!” said Mona, laughing. “Weel, I'll no leave this till 1 know where I’ll nd ye.” “There is my card then, but I live ever so far away. Pray do not trouble about me; I am very glad to have been of any use to you.” “Ah! hut you were—you saved my lifel If you had not stood between me and that cawb, I’d have been a deid mon! I'll try and get home." Struggling to hts feet, and seizing his umbrella, he hobbled to the door. Mona followed him. "You'll hear from me,” said the old man, thrusting the card into his breast pocket; “and I’ll never forget ye, never. Could you find me a sMit-up cawb? I canna bide yon things, wi’ the driver stuck up t>ehlnd.” Mona hailed a passing cab, and, after some haggling, with infinite difficulty and many gmans. he scrambled in, dropping bis umbrella during the process. Moua Picked it up and gave It to him. He seated himself with his hack to the horse, smiling and nodding to his young protectress as he drove slowly away. “What a funny adventure!” thought Mona. “I wonder if Madame Dehrisay will scold me.” But Mme. Dehrisay was in a placid mood when Mona reached home—for madame had her moods. She had passed the morning and some of the afternoon auditing her own and Mona’s accounts. The result was on the whole, satisfactory, though—“The way money slips through your fingers Is most amazing,’’ she observed; “though we have done pretty well, we couldn’t afford a trip anywhere—not prudently; and you cannot put by anything. At all events, you have not reduced your own bit of money much, that’s a comfort; keep a tight hold of it, dear.” Having heard her friend’s summary; and assisted to educe the sea of small account

receipts to something like order, Mona related her adventure, and mudame did not scold. “Well, it was funnyl May lie Ihe old gentlemen N a niillioniiiri* indlsgnise; they are generally queer.

He was i; ihiuuUetor a moneyed luau. If they are queer, they are generally consequential. I fancy he will make his way here. He is very feeble, however, and 1 imagine ‘cawbs’—as he calls them—are too costly for his taste.” “Well, I shall be curious to see what will come of it! It is my belief that your meeting didn't bapp n for nothing,” and Mme. Dehrisay shook her head solemnly. “I believe you arc a lucky girl, Mona.” “Only lucky In having you to befriend me! Your cap is very crooked, dear—go and put on your bonnet! 1 am not a hit tire 1. Let us indulge i*i a hansom to K nsington G lens, and stroll about till it Is time for a late tea.” The Saturday following Mona’s rescue of the ol '. Scotchman, she was surprised and delighted by the receipt of a letter from Evelyn E ■ rard, now Lady Finist mn. After voluminous apologies for her silence, she expressed her warm sympathy with her “dearest cousin.” “They were all so angry with you, that, without giving myself the trouble to think (my usual way, you know). I took for granted that you were a dreadful criminal; still I was ns fond of you as ever—but mother would not hear of my writing. Then I was s i bewildered about Finistoun. He came and went,and some pe* pie thought hi* was going to marry Lady Georgina Fitz-Mnuiice: but / did not. At la t it was all settl'd; then we were frantically busy, and then I was traveling so much, and so selfishly happy. I never gave a thought to any one, wldeli Is disgraceful, I know. N >w, dear, that I am married to the nicest, kindest, pleasantest of men. I feel you were quite right to refuse Mr. Waring. Poor man—I liked him very much! It must he quite awful to be united to anyone yon cannot love with all your heart. Of cour-e if Mrs. Newburgh had lived, it would liave been different. I have told Finistoun all about you. He remembers you last year, and admires you very much. He says you are a 'ducky girl, hut does not think you were wise tothrowover Leslie Waring. The b -st of men, dear Mona, have very little sentiment about other people’s marriages. 1/et us hope they have about their own. I do trust you are not very unhappy. “We are getting tired of moving about, and intend returning in August to Scotland. Finistoun has a doer forest in the Western Highlands. We shall be there almost all the autumn. If I can at all manage it, 1 will come ami si- you as I pass through London; and you must come and stay with me. I am sure you will like Finistoun; he is not exactly handsome, but distingue, and really very clever. My father thinks very highly of him; ami he is a sound Conservative. The dear mother is flourishing, and looks forward to presenting Geraldine next season. It Is lonely, not haring a daughter ‘out.’ Good-bye, dearest Mona. You will forgive my neglect, and grant I had a good excuse. "Ever your attached “Evelyn Finistofm." “I am not so sure about that,” said •dona, smiling, as she put the letter which she had read aloud, hack into itp envelope. “But I am most grateful to her for writing at all. She is really a nice, dear thing.” “So she is,” replied Mme. Dehrisay. “Why, Mona, there’s a little man trying to open the gate—an old man, with a stick and an umbrella. It must be your millionaire.”

CHAPTER IX.—“oil, MY PROPHETIC SOUL, MY UNCLE!”

In a few minutes the severe Jane entered, and told them there was "a—gentleman’’—she hesitated before pronouncing the term—“wanting to see MissCratg.” “Show him in at once, Jane,” said Mine. Dehrisay, graciously, and the hero of Mona’s adventure came in slowly, having left his hat in the hall. “You’ll excuse me,” he said, falling on to a chair, rather than taking a seat, “but I am varra frail. It’s a long way from the station here. I told you. missee, I would not forget ye, and I haven’t.” “Very pleased to receive you, sir,” said Mme. Dehrisay, bluntly. “But you should not have taken the trouble," added Mona, compassionately. “I wanted to come,” he said, wiping his brow with a red cotton pocket-handker-chief. “First, I wanted to pay ye "back your siller’’—he extracted a small bag purse from his trousers pocket, and took out sixpence; “and there it is,” laying it on the table “Next, 1 wanted to ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind.” “Certainly not.™ He drew forth her card, and looked at it, slowly reading it, "Miss M. J. Craig." “What does the M. and the J. stand for?” “Mona Joscelyn.” “They are not very Christian-like names. Wiiere did your father live?” "In Glasgow," “Ah! And now, what was your mother's name?" “Newburgh.” “Ay, just so. Your father’s name was John Craig, and he was a clerk in the Western Bank of Scotland?” “His name was John; but I know little else about him. I remember faintly that lie was kind and loving.” “Well, 1 knew him—knew him from hts babyhood. My name is Craig—Alexander Craig, and I am your father's eldest brother.” “Indeed!” cried Mona, touched, nay, even pleased, to meet anyone of her father's blood. “Then you are my uncle—my own uncle!” “I am that,” ha returned, earnestly. “But, my dear sir,” ejaculated Mme. Dehrisay—“forgive the caution of an old w'oman of the world—can y m supply some proof that you are this dear child's nearest relative?” "You are rlcht to lie cautions, mem. I [CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.]
